Kapil Dev was the second Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in ODI cricket. The Chandigarh swing bowler achieved this feat in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka, played at the Eden Gardens in 1991. He proceeded to trap Rumesh Ratnayake plumb in front of the stumps to complete his hat-trick.
Mumbai Indians fast bowler Lasith Malinga, the highest wicket-taker in the IPL, has pulled out of the 2020 season in the UAE, citing personal reasons. Since Malinga wanted to be with his father at home in Sri Lanka, he opted against travelling with the Mumbai squad to Abu Dhabi last month.
Top five: Bowlers with most number of ODI hat-tricks
- Lasith Malinga (3 hat-tricks)
- Wasim Akram (2 hat-tricks)
- Kuldeep Yadav (2 hat-tricks)
- Trent Boult (2 hat-tricks)
- Saqlain Mushtaq (2 hat-tricks)
A hat-trick occurs in association football when a player scores three goals (not necessarily consecutive) in a single game, whereas scoring two goals constitutes a brace.
Malinga thus became the only bowler in cricket history to take 4 wickets off 4 consecutive balls twice.
With Ryan Sidebottom's hat-trick, England overtook Australia as the team having taken the most Test match hat-tricks. To date the number of hat-tricks by team is; England- 11, Australia- 10, West Indies- 4, Pakistan- 4, New Zealand - 2, India- 2, South Africa- 1, Sri Lanka- 1, Bangladesh- 1, Zimbabwe- 1.
So if a bowler takes six wickets in six consecutive deliveries, it will be considered as two [different] hat-tricks. However if a bowler takes four wickets in four consecutive deliveries it is called as four in four but the term double hat-trick has also been used in the media*. So there is no special term for that.
Four wickets in four balls is referred to in cricket literature and record books as four in four but the term double hat-trick has also been used in the media, as it will contain two different, overlapping sets of three consecutively dismissed batsmen. Note : Cricket does not define an official term for 4-in-4.
